Reflexology is a gentle art of science and an effective
form of therapeutic foot/hand massage.
Reflexology is a therapy that works on the feet or
hands to induce a state of balance and harmony in
the body, mind and spirit.
The body’s organs are mapped out on the feet and
hands in an orderly manner as they appear in the
body. This is a way of massaging the internal
organs through the feet. This method allows the
release of toxins from these organs via the feet or
hands. It is more popular to do this therapy through
the feet than hands because of the wear and tear
we do to our feet everyday. This allows us to create
relaxed muscles of the feet, increase circulation, and
just feels real good.
In reflexology, the reflex zones are stimulated and
an involuntary response is elicited in the corresponding
organs and glands. There is an abundance of nerve
endings in the feet, which aids this therapy in directly
linking to the energy pathways and nerve pathways
of the body and organs. Thus, with the art of touch,
electro-chemical nerve impulses are stimulated to
create the therapeutic effect.
